Beta male: party politics

So, big day tomorrow, I’ve got to get up early and eat pork pie, that being
the Christmas breakfast tradition in East Yorkshire, and possibly elsewhere.
No hardship for me, I love pork pie. With English mustard and tomatoes. Sets
you up for the festivities to come. Pork pie is also a cracking hangover
cure, I find. Just the right combination of fat, carbohydrate and, er, more
fat.

I won’t need sobering up this year though. Indeed no, not with the Deloitte
Ride Across Britain, 960 miles in 9 days, a mere 8½ months away.
Preparations have begun in earnest.
